actually ties into trumps not thinking things through

an unpopular president, disaffected citizens - you quietly back a coup. everyone knows whats up but you have deniability

Ellexy:
No matter what, the US won't allow the country within it's hemisphere with the largest oil deposit to fall in the hands of it's enemies like Russia, China and Iran. It's beyond the oil but the oil is also a vital part of it all. Infact Chinese officials where on ground the night the Op was carried out just to send a message to China.

BlueRayDick:
You seem to think coups are that easy to stage and carry out successfully especially in a hostile country like Venezuela. Most likely the president has the military in his pocket who are willing to crush any attempted coup.

I want to believe the Americans must have contemplated the idea of sponsoring a coup but concluded it won't work as you assume it should.

GloriousGbola:
And the CIA has extensive experience in coups in Latin America

Then again, they have also learnt that coups and counter coups can go sideways (see iran)

Ellexy:
But the US military is the strongest the world has ever known. They did this without informing any of their allies maybe except Israel. Maduro was living in a fortified military base, yet it didn't deter them. They went in, got him and his wife without any casualty and left. Respect.

BlueRayDick:
There will definitely be casualties; maybe not fatalities but they would have military men who caught bullets.

To what end APC?To what end?

This is bad. It's better to ignore at best.

CrystalTiger:

Are u surprised? Is it not the same Tinubu that stole Donald Duke's childhood photograph and claimed it as his?

I'm not surprised if I hear say Tinubu and his co-travellers forged a document or photograph. No be today dem start.

People have already queried grok via prompt and the AI confirmed the picture was entirely generated with AI and not the clock and bull story of using grok to edit an original low quality picture shoch Bayo is selling to gullible people.

CrystalTiger:
Like what's the need for this kind of lie? What's the actual need? I can't believe the things this man does most times..

Nobody is asking him to post picture or say he had dinner, nna mehn , forgery dey the nigga bone marrow

this dependency on LLMs all around will be the death of humanity in general and nigerians in particular. with the budget available to the team - they should be using photoshop to tweak any photos, not handing them over to an LLM.l it also smacks of the lowest forms of mental laziness across board - whatever the photo was , it was uploaded without the most basic checks. for there to be a grok watermark indicated whoever did this was using a free version.

also, personally i am irritated when ever i see people confidently posting i asked grok - especially for Nigerian matters which do not have that much online documentation to begin with

this is on the social media handlers

BlueRayDick:
Well, I guess that's how geopolitics works. They must find something to say when taking a drastic action like this one.

I watched a video Rubio talking Venezuela being in the western Hemisphere and that they (America) will not open their eyes while Venezuela gives an opening for China, Russia and their other adversaries to set up camp in their backyard. More like they know the moment Venezuela warms up to those aforementioned superpowers through oil deals, America will be under threat from their presence in Venezuela.

So maybe that is also another reason for the whole arrest and capture of Maduro. I don't think the whole thing is as a result of one single reason.

afrodoc2:
Exactly. You are getting the point.

You pile up reasons and excuses for your actions and hope one or all stick.

The drug issue is just another reason/excuse to add. It is not the actual reason for the action but it is also not untrue.

Even the Noriega that was removed back in the day for drug trafficking, the US knew about him for years but overlooked it as long as he was useful to them. When he became more of a liability they removed him.

GloriousGbola:
well...

venezuela being a drug haven does not automatically translate to the president being a drug trafficker

that is like saying because Nigeria has a large number of fraudsters, the presidency is also involved in same

TemporaryHansel:
Between Lordadam12 and David Hundeyin I wonder who'll run mad first from their obsession with the US. Both have been very restless.

CrystalTiger:
It was Tinubu official handle that posted this image, is it truly fake?

BlueRayDick:
They are even indicting themselves with this nonsense explanation. The office of the Media & Publicity under the presidency has over a billion naira budgeted for buying media equipment in the running budget o. Yet they are claiming the picture was taken with low quality camera.

Indeed they have no iota of shame and they know their lackeys will defend this nonsense explanation with their last drop of blood.

Are you surprised? Remember its an APC thingy.

2027 Election is already choreographed trust me.

Bunch of decepticons.

Spy360:
That true.

And we are here supporting subsidy removal and more taxes. Whereas Tinubu is in France having fake lunch with Kagame.

Ramdeuter aren't we?

popizaino:
The irony is that most of these Venezuelans who have now settled in the West are now speaking against Trump's action while those back home are jubilating and congratulating Trump.

iamoyindamola:
Heat wan kpai me, where the hell is harmattan
For all this heat, I haven't heard or seen anyone suffer heat stroke

Ibime I read extreme heat can also cause tyre burst and there have been report cases of accidents back to back in the country recently
